This term we will be learning how to write adventure stories. We will be taking inspiration from the stories of 'Tiddler' and 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson, and the film 'Finding Nemo.' We will also learn about writing biographies and autobiographies, particularly focusing in the life of David Attenborough. Why not see what you can find out about him and maybe watch some of his programmes? Later in the term we will move onto letter writing.

Within these text types the children will be learning about four different sentence types: statements, questions, exclamations and commands. They are also learning about different types of words including nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs.

Maths

In maths we will work on counting forwards and backwards in different steps, ordering numbers and understanding the value of each digit in a two-digit number. We will then move onto addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers and multiplication and division, focusing on the 2,5 and 10 times tables. As well as our daily maths lesson, we will also have extra times tables and arithmetic practice in the afternoon. Later in the term will be begin our weekly times table superhero challenge, and don't forget to practise for those bronze times table badges!
